7	''[[http://www.heartcorecomic.com Heartcore]]'' is a [[{{Webcomic}} web graphic novel]] by [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/ T.L. Welker]] about Amethyst Lashiec, a [[DemonLordsAndArchDevils Fiendlord]] and princess of [[{{Hell}} Asgar]] that grew disdainful of her father [[{{Big Bad}} Royce's]] methods and decisions ever since the end of the demons' war against the beastmen. Royce, likewise, becomes fed up with his daughter's [[RebelliousPrincess rebellious]] attitude and strips Ame of her rank and inheritance and promises the other Fiendlords that the one to bring him the ex-princess' head will become the new heir to the throne, before Ame can try to overthrow him.
8
9	As of late 2013, the first few chapters are being remade since the author wants to make improvements to the story both in terms of writing and drawing. Many of the older pages can be found in her Website/DeviantArt page linked above.
10
11	[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Has very little to do with]] HeartDrive.
12	----
13	!!Tropes used include:
14
15	* AbusiveParents: Royce probably didn't pay attention during parenting classes...
16	* ACupAngst: Teodora. Being surounded by far bustier women than herself (including Ame, the one woman she hates the most) doesn't help this fact in the slightest.
17	* AdaptationDyeJob: For the remade first chapters, Suko has recived a darker shade of pink for her hair and dress. Her horns has also grown much taller and gone from red to black.
18	* AlienBlood: Carval's blood, and likely the blood of other salamander demons, is a very dark shade of navy blue. They also have the ability to form [[StuffBlowingUp bombs]] using said blood.
19	* AllThereInTheManual: The side story known as [[http://freedomknight.deviantart.com/art/History-of-Nifelheim-355386869 "History of Niefelheim"]] explores many events that happened before the start of [=HeartCore=], sutch as the death of Lilium, the birth of Ame and the war between demons and beastmen. Some of the events in the story has been stated to appear in the comic.
20	* AnimeHair: Considering that the webcomic has an artstyle based on anime, this shouldn't be a suprise to anyone.
21	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Among the charges Royce brings against Ame are disorderly conduct, harassment, vandalism, conspiracy to commit treason, extortion, and three counts of grand theft (one of those counts involving Royce's birthday cake).
22	--> "But '''''grand''''' theft? You have a birthday cake every day!"
23	* ArtEvolution: Compare 2009 with 2013 and you are sure to see some [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?order=5&q=heartcore#/art/heartcore-before-and-after-365341422?_sid=6f524435 differences]].
24	** Compare Royce's [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-07-page-260-276170584 old design]] to his [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-17-REDUX-412191095 new design]]. He's gotten '''buff'''!
25	** Also compare Goristro [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-07-page-249-269405944 pre-]] and [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-19-REDUX-425917517 post-redux]].
26	* AssholeVictim: It's hard to feel sorry for the first humans that Ame killed in New Ayers while in disguise, considering that they were not only going to mug her, but also rape her. And since it was mentioned that they were killed in an area where these things are not too uncommon, one can consider this proof that this wasn't their first time doing something similar to other people.
27	* AssKickingPose: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-32-REDUX-465487001 A rather alluring one]] at the end of the first remade chapter.
28	* AttackItsWeakPoint: Demons have two weak points, their brain and their Heartcore. Destruction of the former or removal of the latter is the only way to kill them.
29	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: To quote the author, "[[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-326-330566383 ...Trying to get Carval to pay attention...an exercise in futility .]]"
30	* AuthorAppeal: Pretty much all the tropes related to female figures. [[WordOfGod The author has admitted]] that Ame was created to be her ideal woman, but also put everything "cute" she liked within Teodora.
31	** In addition, the author is a big fan of paizuri, which features prominently in her adult-themed donation incentives.
32	** Also, docking. [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/comm-chunky-whipped-strawberry-332220700 Lots (NSFW)]] and [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/comm-boinsenberry-344974600 lots (NSFW)]] and [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-09-cover-FORCE-YOUR-WAY-368752275 lots (safe)]] of docking.
33	** A couple of the adult-themed incentive image packs also confirms Welker to be a fan of tentacles.
34	** She also likes drawing [[PimpedOutDress Pimped-Out Dresses]], which can be displayed on the amount of detail she puts into them.
35	* AuthorAvatar: Once again, Ame
36	** [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-author-info-360980665 Plus this butt imp.]]
37	* BadAssInANiceSuit: To this point, Volsater seems to be the one who fullfills this trope the most.
38	* BattleAmongstTheFlames: One young beastman attempts to do this against Volaster during his rampage in the Beastman Capital. [[CurbStompBattle It doesn't last long for the poor mortal or anyone else who tried to fight the Salamander Demon.]]
39	* BeamOWar: [[spoiler:Ame/Lilium has one of these against an empowered Royce]].
40	* BeCarefulWhatYouSay: When Ame is locked up in a dungeon in Asgar, waiting to be escorted to a court martial, Asmodai appears. She says she would rather have anyone but him to escort her, but he then reminds her that the one who was originally meant to pick her up was [[PsychoElectro Slade.]] Her [[OhCrap reaction]] clearly shows that having Asmodai around is for the better.
41	* BerserkButton:
42	** [[spoiler:Royce is set off when Ame blows up the blood storage]].
43	** Royce really likes his birthday cakes. [[DisproportionateRetribution Stealing his cakes is considered grand theft.]]
44	** Also worth noting that commenting on Emerald's weight might lead to a fist to the face.
45	** And Ame won't stand for her entertainment being insulted. And may God help you if you decide to harm Suko.
46	** Unless you want your forehead to have a date with Teodora's warhammer, don't remind her about the fact that she has the smallest breasts in the entire cast.
47	** Goristro does NOT take it well if anybody hurts Emerald, even if it is an opponent that he stands no chanse in hell against.
48	** When Volaster is telling a story, you better damn listen to every word he has to say! [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=volaster#/d5ibb71 His "son" learned it the hard way!]]
49	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Carval might be a childish nutjob, but that doesn't mean that he can't set an entire city block on fire all by himself.
50	* {{BFS}}: Goristros weapon of choise is a massive sword that he can pull out of his body.
51	* BicepPolishingGesture: Ame, [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-06-page-225-253304247 after getting healed up by Heartcores]]. (Warning: NSFW)
52	* BigEater: Emerald has shown to be this, [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=120#/d4fjilv considering her MASSIVE order at a fast food joint.]]
53	** Royce as well, but he's more into fancy foods. Hell, the man has a birthday cake every day and is constantly served one-man buffets.
54	* BigFancyCastle: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/pleasure-to-meet-you-prepare-to-bleed-379276623 Fitting for]] [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-05-REDUX-379748001 any demon king]]. [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-16-REDUX-409348243 The interior]] is pretty sweet too.
55	* BigScrewedUpFamily: The Lashiecs, full-stop. Royce and Ame used to get along swimmingly, until Royce forcibly drained Ame's power and scarred her. Suko and Ame get along well, but while Suko doesn't quarrel with Royce like Ame does, he's doesn't care much for her either. He also forces a brainwashed Ame to nearly kill her, which did jack-diddly to improve Ame's opinion of him. Her mother, Lilium, is not a fan or Royce, either. [[spoiler:Not to mention, Carval is her half-brother, being created from Royce's union with Volaster; and he's certainly not above blowing Ame into smithereens.]]
56	* BigShutUp: In chapter 8, Ame has started to get enough of Volaster's constant talking.
57	** And then there was that one time where Carval unleashed a massive one against Emerald and Goristro so that he could play with his Happy Meal toy in peace.
58	* BigSisterInstinct: It's made rather clear that Ame is very protective of her sister Suko.
59	* BizarreAlienReproduction: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-311-318847801 According to Volaster]]:
60	--> "...a demon never truly dies...but they never truly reproduce either. It's rare, but when a demon decides to renounce their life, an egg with their reincarnation appears...This egg will also have attributes from another demon they've been in contact with. Within two years' time, the new demon will require the originator's Heartcore, effectively relieving them of duty."
61	* BlackEyesOfCrazy: The whites of characters' eyes turn black when fighting or when they get enraged. [[spoiler:Particularly powerful demons like Lilium and Volaster have permanently black eyes, even when calm.]]
62	** No love for [[spoiler: True!Royce]] in that list?
63	** As it turns out, [[spoiler:Lilium and Volaster's eyes only became permanently black after they pass on, [[http://lashiec.com/wordpress/?p=953 as demonstrated in this flashback]].]]
64	** Averted with Nyx: [[ScaryShinyGlasses her glasses become opaque]] instead, and sometimes [[FireballEyeballs give off a flaming glow]].
65	* BlankWhiteEyes: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-15-REDUX-406911624 Asmodai should have been more careful]] about where he was placing his fingers.
66	* BloodMagic: Played with. Salamander demons such as Carval are said to have fire flowing through their veins, and...well, WordOfGod says you shouldn't make them bleed.
67	* BondVillainStupidity: Royce is guilty of this. Considering his power, he could have easily killed Ame at the very beginning of the first chapters, but he thought sending his weaker servants against her in order to make them compete for a position of power would be more entertaining.
68	* BouncingBattler: Along with FlashStep, [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-02-page-38-490748726 this is one of Slade's powers.]]
69	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Ame, after having had a spell cast on her by Royce.]]
70	* BrattyHalfPint: Teodora, Lutz, and Carval.
71	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: During [[KangarooCourt the trial]] of the first remade chapter:
72	--> '''Royce''': The charges are as follows. [[RebelliousPrincess Various counts of disorderly conduct]]. Continuous harrasment of the [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Demon King, other Overfiends]], and [[{{Mooks}} castle staff]]. [[MustacheVandalism Vandalism by defacing several priceless treasures]]. [[TheCoup Conspiracy to commit several acts of treason.]]
73	** Wich is then followed instantly by a case ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
74	--> '''Royce''': ...Extorting the castle staff, wich lead three seperate counts of Grand Theft...
75	--> '''Ame''': Waaaait a minute! I only recall two things that could've landed me Grand Theft.
76	--> '''Royce''': [[DisproportionateRetribution I'm counting that birthday cake you stole last month!]]
77	--> '''Ame''': But GRAND THEFT? [[VillainousGlutton You have a birthday cake every day!]]
78	* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-07-page-245-266667460 Lutz]] ends up doing this to keep the comic's content from getting risky.
79	* BribeBackfire: During the trial, it is revealed that Ame tried to bribe Lutz with a game console in order to get out of Asgard. Sadly for her, he took the bribe, but then ratted her out in an instant without living up to his part of the deal.
80	* BridalCarry: [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-02-page-37-488576514 Knowing that Slade is after them]], Ame decided that the best way to get Suko out of harms way was to carry her like this.
81	* BullyingADragon: So, Ame. You thought that the best course of action in order to take on [[MadBomber Carval]]/[[PlayingWithFire Volaster]] in his OneWingedAngel form was to press every BerserkButton that he had to offer? That's a bold move, Cotton. [[SarcasmMode Let's see if it pays off for her!]] [[spoiler:The result was a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown where Carval/Volaster nearly killed Ame with little effort.]]
82	** Teo also loves to mock Ame, especially when the older demoness is locked in a cage. One DeathGlare from Ame is enough to make her back off, though.
83	* ButtMonkey: Lutz as well as Asmodai in the remade chapters.
84	* CallingTheOldManOut: Has there ever been a day since that painful ritual that Ame hasn't done this? She pretty much dedicates all of her time in the castle just to piss off Royce in any way possible, whether it includes stealing his cakes, ruining his artwork, or trying to overthrow him.
85	* CallingYourAttacks: Spells in ''Heartcore'' require one to call out its name to execute. More powerful and elaborate spells require long incantations followed by the spell's name.
86	* TheCameo: The characters in the RPG that Lutz plays on [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-06-page-221-251043157 page 221]] are actually from another webcomic called [[http://randommode.deviantart.com/gallery/ "Pirate Madeline"]]
87	** Also, remember the [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/&offset=72#/d4liwgo poor guy who]] [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/&offset=48#/d4m1i4c was tossed in the sky]] by Emerald for not being Royce? [[http://sprite37.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=marx#/d4j44zp That would be Marx]], also created by Emerald's artist.
88	* CatchPhrase: Lutz's line, from which the page quote comes.
89	* CelShading
90	* CensorSteam: Expect this to be seen in nearly any shower/bathscene/MindRape scene.
91	* CharacterTic: Ame likes to lick her chops a lot.
92	* ChickMagnet: Asmodai. Considering that he can [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/d4quqrx satisfy a handful of ladies without taking of his clothes]], that should say something.
93	* ChivalrousPervert: Asmodai. He is an [[SuccubiAndIncubi incubus]], afterall.
94	* ClickHello: Ryo does this to Emerald on page 301.
95	* ClothingCombat: Ame has the ability to use her loincloth as a weapon.
96	* CombatSadomasochist: Slade; oh god, SLADE.
97	* ConflictingLoyalty: Asmodai has this problem with Ame and Royce. In one hand he still has great feelings for Ame, but on the other hand, he has to be loyal to Royce if he wishes to keep his status and life. A fact that Royce [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-02-page-40-495343826 makes very clear]].
98	* ContinuityReboot: Dissatisfied with how the comic was originally going, the author restarted the comic from the first chapter in 2013.
99	* CrossPoppingVeins: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=/&offset=48#/d4z5mdx Ame gets one of these]] when Emerald insults her for liking [[ShowWithinAShow Royal Jelly Complex]].
100	* CuteBookworm: Considering that she is a princess and that her muse is books, Suko seems to fit this trope pretty well.
101	* CuteBruiser: Teodora. Adorable little girl who fights with a giant crystal hammer!
102	* CuteLittleFangs: All characters thus far, except Ryo and Gimlett.
103	* CuteMonsterGirl: This applies to many characters so far, but mostly Theodora.
104	* CurbStompBattle: The only two Overfiends other than Royce that actually managed to put up a fight against Ame during her escape from Asgard were [[TokenMiniMoe Teodora]] and [[PsychoElectro Slade]]. The rest of them stood little to no chanse.
105	** Wile on the topic, the only thing that saved Ame and Suko during their fight with [[BigBad Royce]], was the fact that [[spoiler:Lilium possesed Ame, giving her the power to make it an even fight.]] Even then, it served mostly as a distraction just to give them the opening to flee once and for all.
106	** And then there was [[spoiler:Volaster vs the entire Beastman capital. [[OneManArmy Guess who won.]]]]
107	* DaddysGirl: Ame thought she was this towards Royce. Boy, was she wrong.
108	** Suko on the other hand, seems to be much more favored by their father. Then again, he's perfectly ok with punishing her for things that Ame did.
109	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Having his mother die of illness, growing up poor, and getting his ass kicked for stealing while only being a mortal child was enough to cause Volaster to blow up his home, which in turn caused him to become a demon and getting found by Royce. [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=volaster#/d5nyvvf Not that Ame cares, of course.]]
110	* DarkerAndEdgier: Would you believe that the characters trying to brutally murder each other used to be part of a comedic, gag-a-day webcomic? Or that even before THAT, Ame used to be a VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog fan-character before being remodeled into a succubus?
111	* DarkIsNotEvil: The heroes of Heartcore, although you may say otherwise at some points.
112	* DeaderThanDead: The only way to kill a demon is to either destroy its head or rip out their heartcore. WordOfGod says the latter is easier.
113	* DeadlyGas: The atmosphere outside of domed cities such as New Ayers is invariably lethal to humans. Demons and beastmen, however, are immune.
114	* DeathGlare: Ryo hands these out like candy.
115	* DeathSeeker: Ryo is implied to be this, considering how she jumped from the top of a skyscraper, only to be annoyed when saved by Syranon. In fact, she has done this many times without dying.
116	* DemonicPossession: This happens a lot; for example [[spoiler:Lilium possessing Ame]] and [[spoiler:Volaster possessing Carval]].
117	** [[spoiler:Royce, as well. His most well-known form is just him possessing the dead body of a beastman.]]
118	* DemonLordsAndArchDevils: The Overfiends. Most of the characters we have seen from Asgard are this.
119	* DomedHometown: New Ayers, since the atmosphere of most of the world is poisonous to humans.
120	* DopeSlap: Volaster gives one of these to Carval when he doesn't even recognize that they are related and claiming that Volaster had stolen his last name.
121	* TheDreaded: Slade. [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-12-REDUX-399876974 Even Ame fears]] the mere thought of even being escorted by the guy!
122	* DyingDeclarationOfLove: Subverted and PlayedForLaughs when Goristro thinks that Ame has mortally wounded Emerald. Ame snaps him out of it with a kick to the back of his head.
123	* {{Egopolis}}: The different realms are named after the demon that founded each realm. [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-starting-realm-map-359927798 The ninth realm]], where most of the story takes place, is named after Lilium, Ame's mother.
124	* ElementalPowers: Magic is divided into eight schools: [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[AnIcePerson ice]], [[ShockAndAwe electricity]], [[PetalPower nature]], [[DishingOutDirt earth]], [[MindOverMatter psychic]], [[LightEmUp holy]], and [[CastingAShadow dark]].
125	* EnfantTerrible: Teo and Carval are the youngest of the Overfiends and among the meanest.
126	* EroticEating: Ame likes BBQ Sauce. And we mean she REALLY likes BBQ sauce.
127	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even Asmodai is slightly appalled by [[CombatSadomasochist Slade's]] battle tactics. In fact, none of the other Overfiends like Slade.
128	** Ame has a philosophy in procuring Heartcores: "Pick someone they won't miss". She demonstrates this when she kills some would-be rapists for their Heartcores.
129	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Lutz appears to have this problem, with people merely referring to him by his title rather than by his given name.
130	* EveryoneIsBi: WordOfGod states bisexuality is common among demons.
131	* EveryScarHasAStory: How the webcomic begins. It shows how Ame, once a happy and cheerful princess, was forced into a permanently scarring ritual by her father, costing her much of her powers and leaving her with large scars on her face and arms that never healed.
132	* EvilRedhead: Royce. Are you really suprised by that answer?
133	* EyepatchOfPower: Royce gets one after his battle with Ame/Lilium.
134	* EyeScream: Slade doesn't hesitate to puncture one of Ame's eyes during his fight with her.
135	* FacialMarkings: Goristro sports some [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-19-REDUX-425917517 in his redesign]].
136	* FangsAreEvil: Again, the vast majority of characters thus far ''are'' demons.
137	* FanService: Considering that one of the main characters is a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]], this trope is bound to happen a couple of times through the series.
138	* FantasticNuke: [[spoiler:Volaster turned himself into one to destroy the Beastman capital and wipe out most of the Beastman race.]]
139	* FireIceLightning: The Lashiecs, Asmodai and Teo, and Slade.
140	* FishOutOfWater: Ame has some trouble adjusting to her exile in human society. It's also been said that demons are easily overwhelmed by human sights and sounds, which is why Beastmen are practically required to assist them as tour guides and bodyguards.
141	* FlashStep: Slade is [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-02-page-38-490748726 very good at this]].
142	* FlatWhat: Ryo's reaction when she discovers that Ame doesn't remember her.
143	* FoodPorn: Considering that Royce's muse is food, [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-15-REDUX-406911624 then of course he would be eating stuff that you wish you could gorge into]].
144	* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler:Royce using Ame's body to attack Suko. There is literally no reason for him to have done this other than that he simply ''wanted'' to. It seems to be purely for extending Ame's suffering.]]
145	** Slade, full stop. He once tried to coax a fellow demon into surrendering to him their Heartcore so he could eat it. Why? In his words, "[[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-316-324177107 Try ae spot o' fun! See wha' it does!]]"
146	* FreakinessShame: A fandom example. Though Ame isn't directly ashamed of [[ScarsAreForever her scars]], they still serve as a reminder of what Royce did to her so many years ago (though she isn't too comfortable of showing them off too much, especially the ones on her arms). Most fans seems to think that she's prettier with them, often mistaking it for regular body paint due to the artsytle of the comic.
147	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Volaster, from a common thief in a small town to Overfiend.
148	* FryingPanOfDoom: Suko tries to use this against Slade when he is beating down Ame. It does nothing but a small cut on his face wile giving him a new target to attack.
149	* FunetikAksent: Slade has a Scottish accent, for whatever reason.
150	* GemHeart: The eponymous Heartcores are created by using demonic powers to corrupt a human heart, changing it into a crystalline mass that demons can eat to replenish and strengthen their own Heartcores. It is the source of their power, and their [[AttackItsWeakPoint weakness]]: its destruction or removal will kill the demon.
151	** Heartcores can be found in other creatures as well, such as mice, but they are often of a far lesser quality in terms of power when compared to that of humans.
152	* GemstoneAssault: Teodora's giant crystal hammer has a tendency to lodge sharp pieces into whatever she strikes.
153	* GhibliHills: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/#/d3cwi5q Nifelhiem]] appears to be as such.
154	* GlassCannon: Teodora. She sure knows how to swing a giant hammer crystal around, but considering her young age (well, by demon terms at least), this trope is to be expected.
155	* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: In Emerald's case, they detect the true forms of people and can be used to find demons.
156	* GoodScarsEvilScars: Amethyst's face/arms are not covered in red paint as some may belive.
157	* GoodWingsEvilWings: Demons have wings of various shapes and sizes, from Ame's itty-bitty little red wings, to trueform!Royce's badass prismatic wings.
158	* GoryDiscretionShot: Sukina's face gets seriously messed up by Ame while she is under Royce's spell. We never see the injury, though, as the afflicted side of Sukina's face is cleverly hidden behind Ame's head after she picks her up.
159	* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: In the remade chapters, Suko seems very fond of applying this color to her attire and appearance.
160	* GreenEyedMonster: Emerald becomes an example of this trope when [[GirlsWithGuns Ryo]] ignores her at the sight of Ame.
161	* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: The team of Ryo and Syranon. While Syranon is a paladin who prefers swords and holy magic to do the trick, Ryo relies on a wide variety of guns.
162	* HartmanHips: Most members of the female cast tend to have this, including Teodora.
163	* HavingABlast: Carval, who appears to be able to make bombs with vials of his blood.
164	* HeartDrive: The epynomous Heartcores.
165	* TheHighQueen: According to ''Histroy Of Nifleheim'', things were a lot more stable around Asgard and the sorounding lands when Lilium was around. Take a guess how [[CrapsackWorld everything went]] once [[spoiler: Royce killed her and took complete control]].
166	* HotAsHell: Applies to Royce, along with most of the cast.
167	* HotWitch: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-starting-realm-map-359927798 Lilium]], in addition to being one of the most powerful women to have ever lived in the demonic realms, is also amongst the most beautiful. Two good reasons as to why Royce married her [[spoiler:before mortally wounding her in an attempt to eat her Heartcore]].
168	* HunterOfHerOwnKind]]: It is heavily implied that Ryo is a demon, considering how Emerald refered to her as a "Dretch" and how she seems to have powers beyond that of most mortals.
169	* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Between Lutz/Suko and [[spoiler:a Royce-possessed Ame]].
170	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each chapter is named after video game music. To wit:
171	--> Chapter 1: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkJB2TrIeG4 Sinful Rose]]\

179	Chapter 9: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZMWszd5SRk Force Your Way]]
180	* ImportantHaircut: Ame cuts her hair short when she becomes [[BreakTheCutie her current personality]].
181	* ItAmusedMe: The reason to why Royce [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-18-REDUX-416780662 nearly crashed a giant chandelier]] over Asmodai's head before the trial.
182	* {{Invocation}}: Magical spells in ''Heartcore'' require an invocation to use. For simple spells like Ame's Fireball, this is as simple as [[CallingYourAttacks saying "Fireball!"]] For more complex spells like [[SignatureMove Devil Drive]], the caster needs to recite the spell's incantation first, then call its name.
183	* JerkAss:
184	** Royce, oh dear GOD, Royce.
185	** [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-316-324177107 Slade]] seems to be competing for Royce's Jerkass throne. The guy is willing to kill his own allies just for the sake of fun and curiosity.
186	* KangarooCourt: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-22-REDUX-435829710 In the remade chapters]], Royce decides to put Ame infront one of these with all of the Overfiends watching.
187	--> '''Royce''': I, Royce Lashiec, Demon King of The Ninth Realm, shall be both the prosecution and the final judgement in all of this as [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem our law]] decrees.
188	--> '''Ame''': [[SarcasmMode Yeeeah, that's not biased or anything.]]
189	--> '''Royce''': [[SarcasmBlind Glad you understand!]]
190	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: At one point, Emerald has Ame in a good position to shoot her in the head with a shotgun and does think highly of the possibility to do so. [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-353-354539781 However, once Ame reminds her]] that there is a good chance that she will shrug off the shots (considering how she just survived an encounter with an Overfiend Salamander Demon) and retaliate horrifically, Emerald takes the option of leaving instead.
191	%%* LargeHam: Royce.
192	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-19-REDUX-425917517 "What better way to introduce the rest of the cast?]] A real trial must be witnessed by [[FiveManBand your peers"]].
193	* LegFocus: Many recent pages in the remade chapters have begun to focus a lot on Ame's legs. [[AuthorAppeal One guess as to why.]]
194	* LittleBitBeastly: Lutz, Syranon, and pretty mutch the enitre Beastman race seem to be this.
195	* LoveMartyr: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-312-320401502 "... why I reincarnated? Well...]] [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-322-327205505 ... it was out of love."]]
196	* MadBomber: Carval's as mad and as bomb-tastic as they come.
197	** Volaster, [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-328-331784055 even more so]].
198	* MagicalGirl: Parodied in the [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/#/d5n9jjo second guest comic made by Holland R W.]]
199	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: [[HunterOfHisOwnKind Ryo]] and [[ThePaladin Syranon]]. While Ryo is far more serious and stern, Syranon on the other hand is more naive, friendly, and sensitive.
200	* MasterOfIllusion: Ame has shades of this. [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-06-page-232-257446228 Exhibit A]]: [[spoiler:assuming the form of a helpless human about to be harassed by a couple of thugs, then opening a can of whoopass on them]].
201	* MeaningfulName: Subverted with one of Ame's spells, Devil Drive: the name is derived from the idiom "Needs must when the '''devil drives'''", which means that when you're desperate, you'll do things you'd normally wouldn't do. [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-spells-467673029 Since Devil Drive is Ame's go-to spell, the idiom loses some of its meaning.]]
202	* TheMerch: In-universe, [[ThePaladin Syranon Glaed]] is famous enough in New Ayers to have merchandise based on him due to his popularity.
203	* MindRape: The Devil Drive spell doesn't only deal fire damage, but it also causes damage to the mind as well. And then there is the Dominate Demon spell, that can take control of even the strongest inhabitants of the demon worlds.
204	* MixAndMatchCritters: The Meefus are an adorable combination of bees and cats. And possibly vampire bats considering how they drink blood.
205	* MookHorrorShow: The first chapters can be summed up like this for Teodora, Emerald, Carval, and Goristro. Sure, they might be powerful demons, but let's see YOU try to fight the daughter of the demon who rules Asgard without crapping your pants!
206	* MorphicResonance: Even though Ame has the power of shapeshifting into other women and can shape her clothes any way she pleases, her hair must have the same shade of pink or green that she normally has. Also, her clothes must be either the same shade of black, red, or white that her normal outfit has. Thankfully for her, she can mix these colors in any design she pleases.
207	* MrExposition: Lutz and Slade help with this.
208	* MuggingTheMonster: A couple of thugs attempt to [[RapeAsDrama have their way]] with a [[DamselInDistress seemingly helpless woman]]. [[spoiler:They weren't expecting said woman to be Ame in disguise.]]
209	* TheNapoleon: Carval is shorter than most characters, quick to anger, and all too eager to blow stuff up. [[spoiler:WordOfGod is that Carval's height is attributed the Heartcore he inherited from Volaster, which was damaged in his SuicideAttack.]]
210	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Well done, Warlord Karlsen! You just made [[KillItWithFire Volaster]] bleed so damn much that he was able to cast a [[TakingYouWithMe massive suicide bombing spell]], making sure that the enitre Beastman capital was blown to ashes. [[SarcasmMode Yay.]]
211	* NiceToTheWaiter: Unlike most demons, Suko seems to be rather kind to her servants, even protecting them from Ame when needed.
212	* NightmareFace: Balbons are weaker demons that partake in manual labor. They keep their eldritch faces concealed with masks.
213	%%* NobleDemon
214	* ObliviousToLove: Syranon seems rather unaware of the fact that Gimlett is a bit of a fangirl for him.
215	* OfficialCouple: [=Ame/Syranon=], according to [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/valentine-s-melting-the-ice-for-me-514080247 Word of God]] (NSFW). Counts as TruthInTelevision, since the characters' creators are married.
216	* OhCrap:
217	** Almost anytime Ame gets pissed or scary, someone is bound to have this expression. Ame has also sported this reaction a few times when in trouble.
218	** When Ame learns that Asmodai called in a favor to escort her to her court martial because the only alternative was [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Slade]], she has this look on her face, accompanied by a mushroom explosion in the background of the panel.
219	* TheOnlyOneAllowedtoDefeatYou: It is implied that Emerald stopped Volaster/Carval's rampage in New Ayers just so that she could have the satisfaction of killing Ame herself. Sadly, she didn't have the guts to pull off the kill in case Ame would survive.
220	* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Demons are capable of BizarreAlienReproduction with one another, their exact demonic species notwithstanding. They can also be divided into one of three classes:
221	** First-class demons were once mortal, but shed their humanity by committing atrocities. Most demons in the story are first-class: Volaster, in particular, became a demon after razing his hometown.
222	** Second-class demons are children/reincarnations of past demons. Ame qualifies, being the child of Lilium.
223	** Third-class demons, like first-class demons, are former mortals who were converted into demons by another demon.
224	* OutOfClothesExperience
225	* ThePaladin: Due to him wearing an armor with bright colors and having mastery of holy magic, one can say that Syranon is one of these.
226	* PayEvilUntoEvil: This is how Ame intends to gather Heartcores now that she is in New Ayers, thinking that nobody will care if she only kills criminals. [[spoiler:Too bad for her that investigations were still made after she killed her first victims, leading to Demon Hunters Ryo and Syranon to get on the case.]]
227	* PersonaNonGrata: We're guessing Ame won't be going back to Asgard anytime soon.
228	* PsychoElectro: Slade is this in a nutshell.
229	* PimpedOutDress: Suko, as well as younger Ame. Teodora also has one during the remake of the first chapters.
230	* PointyEars: So far, the only character without pointy ears is [[TokenHuman Gimlett]].
231	* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: Ame, considering how this once happy and cheerful young royal had to fight every overfiend in order to escape Asgard.
232	* PyroManiac: Nearly all of Carval's powers include fire in one way or another. To say that he really enjoys using them, even in public areas of the human world where everyone can see it, would be an understatement.
233	** All this is courtesy of his predecessor Volaster, who was, as Slade put it, [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-341-341713277 "Some firebug from a podunk toun."]]
234	* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Most of the cast being demons, this comes as no surprise. [[spoiler:Also, Ryo.]]
235	* RebelliousPrincess: Two of them, technically.
236	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Slade. Also Emerald, but only if you [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=heartcore+emerald#/d570z01 make her jealous enough.]]
237	* RedOniBlueOni: Amethyst and Royce are the Red to Teodora and Asmodai's Blue, both in attitude and color.
238	* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:According to Volaster, demons do not die, but come back as a different form. When demons decide to give up living, an egg carrying their new form appears bearing attributes of the original demon and another demon the progenitor had contact with. Wait two years, introduce the original demon's Heartcore to the egg and voila! The new incarnation lives on, carrying the consciousness of its original form.]]
239	** :In short, [[spoiler:Carval is the reincarnation of Volaster, and to an extent Ame is the reincarnation of Lilium.]]
240	* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: Color-coded for each overfiend, no less.
241	* {{Revenge}}: A prevailing theme throughout the story; Ame's rebellion against her father is out of revenge for stealing her life force to complete a possession spell. [[spoiler:Same for Volaster, [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-342-342589659 as revenge played a large role in his becoming a demon.]]]]
242	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-starting-realm-map-359927798 Meefus]], creatures that are an adorable cross between bees and cats. Oh, and [[KillerRabbit they drink blood]].
243	* RitualMagic: It is used from time to time in the show, mostly regarding the most powerful spells in the comic. The most notable one being the ritual that scarred Ame for life.
244	* Rule34: Donation incentives often include porn of Ame, which the author, herself, draws.
245	* RoyalBrat: Let's just say that Teo is rather used with getting things her way and reacting violently when they don't.
246	%%* ScarfOfAsskicking: Slade.
247	* ScarsAreForever: Those red marks on Ame's face and arms? Those aren't paint, but exposed muscle that she gained thanks to a ritual that Royce pulled on her. Not even eating Heartcores, something that can even replace missing limbs, will heal them.
248	* ServantRace: The Balbons are a short race of servants who can best be described as satanic [[Franchise/StarWars Jawas]] or grimdark [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Veigar]] cosplayers.
249	* SevenDeadlySins: According to WordOfGod, [[http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=heartcore#/d4ag2zq Ame and the six overfiends each represent a Deadly Sin]]; Ame is [[UnstoppableRage Wrath]], [[BigBad Royce]] is [[BigEater Gluttony]], [[SuccubiAndIncubi Asmodai]] is {{Lust}}, Emerald is [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]], [[TheStarscream Slade]] is {{Greed}}, Goristro is {{Pride}}, and [[PlayingWithFire Carval]] is Sloth.
250	* SharpDressedMan: Carval is forced to wear a suit when inside his own mind, where Volaster resides.
251	* ShoutOut: Royce makes an entrance reminescent of [[Videogame/EarthBound1994 Giygas]] on page 110.
252	** Many characters' names harken to classic Sega. The family name Lashiec, for example, comes from the actual translation of the name "Lassic", the villain of the first ''VideoGame/{{Phantasy Star\|I}}. Likewise, Lutz is named after the esper in the same game. Meanwhile, Teodora is named after a character from ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia''. Then there is also the aforementioned Slade...
253	** Another ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' shout-out: in Chapter 2, Page 38 of the redux, Ame uses a spell called "Burstroc", named after one of Wren's skills in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarIV''.
254	** WordOfGod says [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-288-301525807?q=gallery%3Atlwelker&qo=0 Carval's shirt]] is a three-way reference: one to Music/FrankieGoesToHollywood, the second to ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'', and the third to Carval's predecessor, Volaster's bisexuality.
255	** Oddly enough, [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-300-310250472 page 300]] vaguely resembles the iconic scene of a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/ThreeHundred?from=Main.ThreeHundred certain movie based on a comic]], though WordofGod says it was a coincidence.
256	** [[spoiler:Volaster's greeting to Carval]] surely will get you started [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBecM3CQVD8 singing along to the song it comes from]].
257	** [[spoiler:The spell incarnation for the [[TakingYouWithMe "Blast Bomb"]] is a direct quote from the book ''Literature/TheStand''.]]
258	*** [[spoiler:WordOfGod is Carval and Volaster are two big walking talking shout-outs to Creator/StephenKing. Volaster's line before beginning his incantation for the Blast Bomb spell, "My life for you", is another quote from ''The Stand'': in this case, the Trashcan Man's MadnessMantra from the TV series adaptation.]]
259	** [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-09-cover-FORCE-YOUR-WAY-368752275 Chapter 9's cover]]. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Three guesses as to what the reference is to, and the first two don't count.]]
260	** Ame's pet imps are named [[Comicbook/{{Doom}} Rip and Tear.]]
261	** Lutz's given name is taken from [[Franchise/SuperMario Ludwig von Koopa]], the author's favorite Koopaling.
262	** Ame's "Summon Suffering" spell takes its name from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7T5225FCvQ a technique used by]] [[VideoGame/SoulSeries Ivy Valentine]].
263	* ShowWithinAShow: Royal Jelly Complex, a saccharine TV show if Disguised!Ame's [[JawDrop initial reaction]] is anything to go by.
264	* SlasherSmile: A good number of characters have them, but notable mention goes to Carval, who's always sporting one. [[spoiler:Also Volaster, Carval's father; to the point where his jaw is dislocated.]]
265	* SmokingIsCool: Ryo, though it is implied that she is only doing it in the hopes that it will kill her eventually.
266	* SomethingElseAlsoRises: According to WordOfGod, the artist has a tendency to make Ame's wings bigger in the more smutty pictures.
267	* SpecialGuest: Emerald, Sukina, Ryo, and Syranon were created by friends of the author and incorporated into the story, the very latter being created by the author's ''husband''.
268	** Here is a list: Emerald was created by [[http://sprite37.deviantart.com/ Cory Holmes]]
269	** Sukina is based off of a character designed by [[http://anoveltyspoon.deviantart.com/ "A Novelty Spoon"]]
270	** Ryo was designed by Holland Wilson.
271	** Syranon was brought to us by [[http://freedomknight.deviantart.com/ Stephen Stewart]]
272	* SpiderSense: Ryo has the ability to detect demons.
273	* SpoiledBrat: Teodora is this in spades.
274	** Suko on the other hand is the kindest person in Asgard despite her luxurious life.
275	* TheStarscream: It's hinted that [[spoiler:Slade]] may be taking this route.
276	* StockingFiller: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-06-page-234-258706763 Ame in the Chapter 6 end]].
277	* StrawberryShorthand: Ame is usually associated with strawberries, especially in her character portraits which usually have titles referencing strawberries.
278	* StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-353-354539781 Ame dares Emerald to finish her]] with a shotgun-shell to the face. However, considering that she had just [[SuperToughness survived an encounter]] with [[MadBomber Carval]]/[[KillItWithFire Volaster]], Emerald was not willing to take the risk of losing her life in case the bullets didn't do the work.
279	* StuffBlowingUp: Carval and Volaster's modus operandi.
280	* SuccubiAndIncubi: Asmodai is an incubus, and Ame is a succubus.
281	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:Lilium taking over Ame's body.]]
282	** Also qualifies as a SuperEmpowering.
283	* SuperSpeed: Slade, being a PsychoElectro, is as fast as lightning, being able to dash away unnoticed even other people are right next to him.
284	* SuperToughness: So the only way to kill a demon is to either destroy the Heartcore or the head. Sounds easy, right? Then keep in mind that Carval, one of the weakest of the Overfiends, survived a headfirst fall from a scyscraper, suffering only a black-out and some bleeding. And also notice that Ryo, implied to be a rather low class of demon (dretch), has survived many falls from a similar scyscraper without dying. Doesn't sound so easy anymore, huh?
285	* SweetTooth: Royce loves his sweets as shown in a panel before Ame blew up the blood storage. God help you if you interrupt it.
286	* SuicideAttack: [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-332-334178854 BLAST BOMB!]]
287	* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Due to his love for [[BigBad Royce]], Volaster did this in the middle of the Beastman capital with his "Blast Bomb".]]
288	* TalkToTheFist: [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-02-page-35-482658209 Goristro should have known]] that trying to reason with Ame during a battle would only end with a fireball to the face.
289	* TerribleTrio: Emerald, Carval, and Goristro: the Demon Three.
290	* ThanksForTheMammary: in the old verision of the first chapters, Ame does this to Suko while trying to pull her out of her hiding place.
291	** In the remade first chapters, [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-01-page-14-REDUX-405198454 Asmodai does this to Ame]].
292	* ThemeNaming: Amethyst and Emerald.
293	* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Well, Warlord Karlsen... If by "works" you mean [[spoiler:"making Volaster bleed enough to make him cause a [[TakingYouWithMe massive suicidal bombing, taking the Beastman capital city with him]]"]], then, yes. It worked.
294	* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Suko's muse is literature; it was bound to happen.
295	* TokenHuman: Gimlett is shaping up to be this.
296	* TokenMiniMoe: Teodora
297	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Well, Ame isn't exactly ''tomboyish'', but she's definitely an ActionGirl, whereas her sister Sukina is demure and generally a non-combatant.
298	* TookALevelInBadAss: Carval by a mile! In his first fight against Ame, [[CurbStompBattle he got beaten by one single projectile and didn't even manage to deal any significant damage to her]]. In chapter 8, he managed to almost kill her [[spoiler:until he got caught and strangled by her loincloth and tossed from the top of a skyscraper]]. But that only led him to take ANOTHER level in badass by [[spoiler:fusing with his father, Volaster.]]
299	* TooKinkyToTorture:
300	--> '''[[spoiler:Lilium:]]''' Now, if you don't mind, these aren't ''nearly'' tight enough.
301	** Goristro also seems to have a thing for getting punched in the face by Emerald, motivating him to mock her weight.
302	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Potato chips for Lutz, and barbecue sauce for Ame.
303	* TrenchCoatWarfare: [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-08-page-288-301525807 Behold]] as Carval reveals his shirt full of black blood bombs.
304	* UnusualEars: In addition to the PointyEars mentioned above, beastmen apparently have animal ears.
305	* UnwantedRescue: When Ryo [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp06-page-195-205561818 first]] [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp06-page-196-205818072 met Syranon]], he rescued her from falling from a skyscraper. Sadly for the paladin, [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp06-page-197-206525422 this was not what she wanted.]]
306	* VampiresAreSexGods: Though not entierly a vampire, the incubus Asmodai does have some vampiric themes sorounding him.
307	* VillainousBreakdown: Volaster didn't take it well when Ame decided to press all of his [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]] (interrupting his childhood story and claim that Royce doesn't care about him). In fact, he took it so badly that he tried to [[spoiler:destroy the dome that protects New Ayers, the last human settlement.]]
308	** And in "History Of Niefelheim" [[spoiler:Royce had a big one when his arm was cut off, but also had an even bigger one when he found out that Lilium died and gave birth to Ame, making him unable to eat her heartcore and thus putting a stop to his plans for greater power.]]
309	* VillainOverride: [[spoiler:VillainProtagonist Ame temporarily relinquishes control of her body to her mother, Lilium, in order to level the playing field between herself and Royce. Later, Carval does the same, letting Volaster take over during his fight with Ame.]]
310	* VirginPower: After feeling Gimlett's scent, Ame could tell that she was a virgin, wich would lead to her Heartcore being tastier and more powerfull than normal.
311	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: An ability that Ame posseses.
312	* VomitIndiscretionShot: Upon finding out she ate the Heartcores of mice, Ame has [[http://tlwelker.deviantart.com/art/heartcore-chp-06-page-227-254641661 a particularly colorful one]].
313	* WasOnceAMan: The demons of Asgard -- specifically the Overfiends -- were [[spoiler: once humans and other various mortal races who committed vile atrocities in their former lives in order to achieve demonhood.]]
314	* WeaponSpecialization: Teodora's weapon of choice is a giant, blue spiky crystal warhammer.
315	* WickedCultured
316	* WingedHumanoid: Most of the demons we have seen so far have wings on their backs.
317	* WingsDoNothing: Depends from demon to demon. Some demons like Teodora have wings, but are next to incapable of any actual flight compared to her father Asmodai. Ame herself can only glide with her wings.
318	* WithUsOrAgainstUs: After Asmodai refused to help Ame overthrow Royce in the fear that he might lose both her (they were in a relation at the time) and Teo, this is what Ame told him nearly word for word.
319	* TheWorfEffect: Ame suffered this when fighting against [[ShockAndAwe Slade]] and [[BigBad Royce]].
320	* WorldOfBuxom: Since demons have a competitive streak and appearance is treated as a kind of power, most of the female characters have breasts at least half as big as their heads. It helps that they know advanced magic and can eat the very source of life itself. Some girls are exceptions, but that's only because they have pre-pubescent bodies.
321	* WouldHurtAChild: Ame shows little restraint during her fight with Teodora. Same thing goes for Slade who at one point electrocutes the latter to get a good hit at the former.
